Janney Furnace in Ohatchee

Janney Furnace in Ohatchee, Calhoun County, was built in 1863, during the Civil War, to provide pig iron to the Confederate Army but was destroyed soon after completion during a raid by Union general Lovell H. Rousseau. Now managed as a park by the Calhoun County Parks and Recreation Office, the site is listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.
